Going any further would be just a waste of bullets (double chapter)

The influx of energy from leveling up felt like the container of my body slowly filling up, reinforcing the inner structure of my body and thus stabilizing it. 

The appearance of the spell, on the other hand, felt like a new pressure valve appearing in my soul, an outlet for my newfound energy to release. 

It wasn't just a boon to my powers, something I would happily use without knowing what it had to do with anything. No. 

This skill was just like the qualitative change it brought to my bond with Fay, a new inherent element of my being. Receiving it almost felt like regaining control of a limb I didn't know of my entire life. 

In that single instant, the roaring desire for more blood, more levels, and more attribute points greatly decreased. Split between three potential outlets instead of just two, the energy inside of my flesh calmed down, ridding my mind of this unbearable thirst.
